[Post Here First] Itami Castle Gate

On the road to the castle gate, a lone figure walks. His body is covered in a ragged, black cloak and when he approaches the guards, he speaks, "I seek entrance into your little town." His voice is cold, sending chills down the soldiers spines. The mans face was hidden by the cloak, but they could feel his eyes on them.

"Who I am does not concern you, noble guard. I just seek to talk to your leader about some business." He says as he turns his head to look at the guard that spoke to him. The guard only saw glowing crimson eyes in the hood, the mysterious figure's face hidden by shadows.

"Hey guarads, may you let me out of this castle please

As Asthor is let back through the gate, for the second time in his life he surveys his surrounding with a look of interest on his face. Of course, Asthor thought, there must be something I'm needed for. As he looks around and finally takes in his surroundings he sees that the guards are all doing their jobs. Quickly, Asthor runs up to an important looking one and asks," May you take me to your leader?"

Asthor shows up at the gate unexpectedly nearly 2 months after he left due to slowness. The other guards in his group are there to. Once let through the gate Asthor asked one of the guards to leave him to the warlord himself.

"Who's this guy?"

"Never seen him before.

"Hush, he's here."

"Hello!"

One of the guards comes over to receive Orocles. "Orocles huh? Well the thing is—"

The Guard was interrupted as Exim Kun arrived, "Greetings, I am Exim Kun, Lord Nishida's steward. Our lord is out currently, personally surveying some land. Please come in though, he will be back soon."

Exim Kun would lead Orocles into the castle to the meeting room.

"Uh, that and establish positive diplomatic and economic relations!" Jun chimed in. She rolled her eyes and whispered harshly to the druid, "They don't need to know our life story. If we're at the gate then they know we have permission to speak to Asthor. We just need to know where he is." She then turned to the guards. "Here's a question. Where is the stable? Can we get permission to leave our animals there?"

Jun was normally kind-hearted and playful by nature. But the Guardians of Gaia were rather zealous and preachy, traits which annoyed her somewhat (ironic, given that her master was a holy dragon).

Arriving at the castle gate in a rather odd form for him self he saw an oddly shaped groups of... Um... He didn't know. Thinking to himself Asthor wondered if Aozora had assembled an army, surely not . He had an oddly ripped up shirt on for he had just came back from chopping a tree down and some ripped up bottoms. Quickly he hid his axe and put on a cloth to cover his body when he realized that these might no be Aozorians.

As Asthor marched forward his mind wandered at the sight of these people. Asthor then thought that he should put the log to the side of the road and his sack which contained a small dagger. He suddenly heard his name as the sun beat down on him. Taking off running Asthor shows up at the castle gate and introduces himself," Ummm... I heard that you are looking for Asthor Sneak, well that's me." His odd choice of clothes had probably made them wonder but he kept on going farther into the castle yard. Quickly he asked a guard for a swift meeting with the warlord to discuss what to do about talking to these people.

The Land-Tiller delegation were happy to finally meet Asthor Sneak, although once they saw him they realized that they didn't quite know what to expect. The lead druid nodded. "A pleasure to meet you. We're diplomats and members of the Guardi-"
